Brief Description: Installed Rudder Pedals; Fabricated Elevator Push
Installed Rudder Pedal Assemblies into fuselage. Installed brake tubing between pilot master cylinders and brake lines on firewall, between master cylinders, and between co-pilot master cylinders and brake fluid reservoir installed on front of firewall.
Installed rudder cables from back of tail cone to rudder pedals and attached them to the pedal assemblies.
Fabricated the front and mid elevator pushrods. Measured the length for the mid-rod tube incorrectly, cutting it 3 inches too long. (Measured it twice, and still got it wrong!) Discovered this mistake after completing the push rod assembly and measuring for overall length between the bearing ends. Will need to cut the tube 3 inches shorter on one end, order a new VA-101 Threaded Rod End, and drill and rivet this new rod end into the tube.
